WASHINGTON/NEW YORK - Government investigators warned of dangerous overcrowding at more migrant facilities on the southwest U.S. border, publishing photos on Tuesday of packed cells in Texas’ Rio Grande Valley where some children have no access to showers or hot meals.
It came as President Donald Trump’s administration pushed back against criticism of its migrant detention centers on the U.S.-Mexico border. Migrants banged on cell windows and shouted when investigators visited. Most single adults had not had a shower despite several being held as long as a month. One photo showed a man in a packed cell holding a message reading: “Help 40 Day Here.”The Rio Grande Valley is the busiest area of the border for migrant arrests, which hit a 13-year monthly high in May during a surge in the arrival of Central American families. At the time of the investigators’ visits, U.S.
According to Democratic U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, women were told to drink out of toilets. “They provided three meals a day to people who are here illegally and unlawfully, two snacks in between,” Gidley said. The detention facilities have become an issue among Democratic candidates vying to face Trump in the 2020 presidential election.
TV Yeah, end this torture, send them all back
TV I think that's tragic that people are kept like that, but at the same time, it's a consequence of them not doing things the right way. They should always be given the option to be sent back to their home country if they choose, otherwise, that's where they should stay.
TV Nice deterrent. Keep showing pics, send the message “do not come here illegally.” America has highest “legal” immigration rate in the world, 19% of total. Get this under control. BuildTheWall
TV Need I say more?
TV Why don’t they go home? They are free to leave at any time?
TV What about the homeless Americans families living on the streets. What about them no one is protesting for them. No one is contacting congress about the American homeless crisis.
TV There are a lot of migrants and the detention centres weren't built to cope. Not sure what people are expecting, them to be booked into a Hilton?.
TV You're a disgrace. This picture is from during Obama administration
TV Nobody is stopping them from going home.
TV 1. None of these people should be detained. Give them a hearing date and let them go. 2. It would cost less to put them up in a FourSeasons
TV When are the Republican congress members going to go there and debunk AOC Ill wait....
TV So who's fault is it? It's a privilege to come to the US but some of our people wanna come in by force like it's a right when in fact it isn't a right it's a privilege.
TV Give thanks to the Demwits in the House. You cannot legislate but you damn sure know how to investigate and throw stones!
TV I can take care of 1 person no charge! I have a shitload of brand new unopened tooth brushes i can donate. I'm not the only one there are thousands of us out here. There is no excuse good enough to tirture these people.
TV All they had to do it turn around.

TV Agree .. close the camps and send them home.

TV You could go back home?

TV It would not be overcrowded if HE & his officials were not hell bent on cruelly separating families and making infants , toddlers & kids suffer (even though they have relatives in this country. Deliberately destroying lives.This is disgusting, shameful and reprehensible!
TV Were the photos taken in a country that are constantly concerned with human rights issues in other countries?
TV the great USA can't find any tents to deal with overcrowding. or perhaps rent some hotels at half the cost. at least they'd get soap and water. not to mention a pool tv, movies and room service. less cost but then all the corrupt politicians wouldn't get their kickbacks
TV I’m old enough to remember when this was a “manufactured crisis”
TV AOCResign
TV Yet, nothing is being done to address the problem. A wall isn’t going to stop migrants from making their way to the border. We need to address what in these South American countries is causing this epidemic.
TV And how long has this administration been saying that there is a crisis at the border? Begging go help to control the influx, stating there was a humanitarian crisis? According to the Dems a manufactured crisis. Now suddenly, it’s a crisis and a photo op.
TV This cannot possibly be legal! RepublicanCarnage LockICEUp NoForProfitPrisons
TV Here's an idea! Everyone! Democrats AND Republicans. Do NOT re-elect your congress people and senators in the next election! If they won't do the work and get things fixed, FIRE THEM!
TV CYA time, eh?
TV Horrific!
TV I've heard a shocking rumor that the detention centers only have facilities that cater for male and female detainees. What about the 97 other genders?
TV Time to build a wall...and stop this invasion
TV So let’s review... “... there is no border crisis...” “...the conditions at the border are horrific...” (perhaps synonymous with crisis?). No funding for the fake crisis, but yet we see what is obviously a major problem(crisis). Absolute quagmire...
TV Tell the story be a news agency they found NONE of the AOC made up lies
TV 💖
TV President Trump declared a national emergency at the border 137 days ago...The Dems/media mocked him and said the crisis was fake.
TV Homeland requested funds from Congress months ago & only recently got funding. They need to do comprehensive immigration reform & stop using these ppl as political pawns.
TV Can someone please tell me if any Republican lawmakers have visited these detention centers to date? If so, who are they? Thank you!
TV I blame the politicians promising these people a free ride when they get to American. I blame the crooked politicians and the UN for the death of these poor people traveling on empty promises.
TV Ok, protest but no solutions! Talk, but no ideas!
TV Concentration camps. That’s where we on the timeline of “never forget”. Unbelievable that so many are okay with this.
TV A picture is worth s thousand words. This one speaks of more than overcrowding, I think...
TV So they admit they prefer to keep families in worse than jail conditions due to their refusal to process their cases in a effective manner
TV Our impotent Congress owns this. What the hell did they expect. Our asylum and immigration laws are Swiss cheese!
TV The problem is the enforcement of a zero tolerance policy enacted by trump and which could just as easily be fixed by him. He's trying to use human suffering that he creates for political reasons. People need to be strong and face him down and not be held hostage.
TV PLEASE USE THE CORRECT LANGUAGE!! Concentration camps
Legally will always help!
Or stop coming- this is not a hotel- take a number and get in line
God hears the cries of his children in cages.

Could just send 'em home, huh?
They could be offered a super comfy ride home if they are unhappy? And I see a lot of water there so they have more water than they did on their walk.
Transfer them back into Mexico and to their migrant camps or holding facilities. Easy done... provide humanitarian aid to mexico to help with the problem. THEN let's see all the reporters and activists go to mexico and complain or watch over the treatment that mexico provides.
note:
AOCResign Spread lies
Tragic, isn't it? Really racist if you think about, until you learn this was during Obama's presidency.
Those seeking asylum should be required to denounce the nations they are fleeing from as a failed state. One condition of asylum should be if they return to the nation they fled or send $ to within 20 years of being granted asylum or they cannot return to the USA.
